Weekend In Kent - 12 - 13.3.11

As I had a Watford RSPB trip to Oare Marshes on the Sunday Me nad the missus went down to her mums for the weekend so I could have a lie in and still get there on time and see her mum of course! On the Saturday we went to nearby Riverside CP where a year tick was added in the shape of a single Bar-Tailed Godwit. Oare on the Sunday saw 3 more species onto my list. Those being Avocet, Ruff and Snipe. 8 Common Seal on some sand on the Swale was nice.

About Me

Born and bred in Watford,Herts, I started birding when I was just 8 years old because the old next door neighbours garden was very overgrown and attracted birds to his and our gardens! I first went to the Watford RSPB group at 15 and then I joined the Herts Bird Club in the same year. I was on the Herts Bird Club committee for 3 years. I started twitching in September 2001 after i'd bought my RBA pager and within a week of owning it i'd added Red-Necked Stint and American Green Heron! I keep 2 main lists which can be seen above.
